Davie's Cabin Lyrics

'Round the table the cards were passed

Conversation flowing strong and fast

No eyes that cried and nobody sighed

In Davey's cabin by the tide

Drenched in moonlight the robin sang

To the people who drive the rain

No one to believe in no one to confide

In Davey's cabin by the tide

The phoney philosopher steps to the plate

Tellin' tall tales of his life out-of-state

No notion of sadness no harbour of hate

Just a pier of blue

Off the avenues

Lights of laughter sights of spades

Marching people in their own parades

Jack of diamonds in his hand decides

In Davey's cabin by the tide

Bluenose Billy wants to say a word

Tell them nothin' that they haven't heard

He hides his knowledge from the world outside

Of Davey's cabin by the tide

Davey's cabin by the tide
